DROP DOWN MENUS FOR PLACES

Please use the drop down menus to the right and follow the
links to images and/or other information regarding some of
the places that were important to the pilots and passengers
using the Davis-Monthan Airfield between 1925 and 1936.

The images, almost by definition, are black and white, and
maybe not too legible. In some cases I've been able to provide
both period and contemporary images of the places our pilots
and passengers called home.

PLACES THEY CAME FROM, FLEW TO, and PLACES THEY LIVED

You will notice when you examine the images of the Register
pages that most pilots logged their "Home Station",
as well as the places they "Arrived From", and their
"Destination".

By query of the database, the pilots who signed the Register
came from 317 unique Home Stations, ranging from Aberdeen,
MD to Ypsilanti, MI. As you might imagine, the west coast
locations of San Diego, CA and Los Angeles, CA and the military bases
in California and Texas were cited most as Home Stations.

Also, there were 170 unique "Arrived From" locations.
Major east-west travel between San Diego/Los Angeles, Phoenix, AZ and El Paso, TX was the predominant three-way arrival corridor.
"El Paso" usually meant the previous stop before
Tucson (if not Lordsburg, NM), with most fliers having come
from points east before stopping at El Paso enroute to Tucson.

Finally, there were 241 unique "Destinations",
ranging from Abilene, TX to Yuma, AZ. The same east-west departure
corridor remained, with "Yuma" many times being
a refueling stop for further travel into California.

Please check "What's New on the
Site" button below and at the bottom of any page to see information on Homebase,
Arrived From and Destinations I have recently uploaded. Follow
those leads for examples of other types of extended information on this site.

DATABASE

For Microsoft Access geniuses out there, if you look at the analysis I performed
for Standard Air Lines, you'll see that it is possible to glean business
efficiency variables from the Register database. Could similar inferences
be made via a geographic analyses of Home Station, Arrived From
or Destination data?
